The Wu Tian Empire mourned nationwide.
And at this time, the Destroyer of the World had also rushed back to the Cloud Top Empire.
With the Destroyer of the World taking action personally, there was naturally no accident.
The Cloud Top King revealed a cold and disdainful smile.
"Hmph."
"Dare to go against us, and this is the consequence."
After saying that.
The Cloud Top King and the Destroyer of the World headed toward the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
"With Wu Tian, who caused our fortune to leak, dead, the lost fortune should return, right?" the Cloud Top King said.
"Indeed!"
The Destroyer of the World nodded.
Because according to reason.
Recruiting someone could increase fortune, becoming enemies would reduce fortune, so with this person gone, the fortune should neither increase nor decrease, returning to its original state.
"Let's wait a bit more, there is often a delay when fortune changes," the Destroyer of the World said calmly.
"Indeed!"
The Cloud Top King nodded.
Then the two sat down on either side of the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
Also waiting for the changes in the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
Sure enough.
After half a day, the Fortune Immortal Pillar showed signs of fluctuation.
The two opened their eyes at the same time, their expressions instantly brightening.
Under the auspices, the Fortune Immortal Pillar had always given off a gentle glow.
As time slowly passed, the Fortune Immortal Pillar finally began to officially change.
Under the excited gazes of the two, the fortune eventually increased to the state before they had contact with Wu Tian.
Seeing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"It's finally restored."
The Destroyer of the World smiled.
"Yes, it wasn't easy!"
The Cloud Top King also revealed a smile.
Although the efforts spent on Wu Tian during this period were wasted, since the lost fortune could be recovered, they could accept it.
As long as there was no loss, achieving the perfection of the immortal pillar was only a matter of time.
"Alright."
"The matter of Wu Tian is over, let's hurry and complete the next mission according to the guidance of the Celestial Book!" the Destroyer of the World said. "We've wasted too much time recently. If we delay any further, the Celestials and the Supreme One may not be pleased with us."
"Okay!"
The Cloud Top King nodded solemnly, about to take out the guiding Celestial Book with a wave of his palm.
But just halfway there, he noticed something and hurriedly turned his head to look at the nearby Fortune Immortal Pillar.
To his shock and horror.
The Fortune Immortal Pillar, which had just calmed down, was showing signs of fluctuations again.
The Destroyer of the World also noticed this scene and asked in shock, "What's going on? Why is the Fortune Immortal Pillar showing signs again?"
The two exchanged glances, completely baffled.
Under their confusion, the fluctuations of the Fortune Immortal Pillar grew stronger and stronger.
"Something couldn't have happened, could it?"
The Destroyer of the World had a bad premonition.
The Cloud Top King's pupils also shifted, as events that could cause changes in the Fortune Immortal Pillar were never small matters and could not be taken lightly at all.
So he hurriedly said, "I'll immediately send people to investigate and see if there have been any incidents related to fortune."
After speaking.
The Cloud Top King quickly relayed his orders.
After the orders were sent out, the two sat nervously beside the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
Before finding out the cause that led to the fluctuations in the Fortune Immortal Pillar, the two didn't dare close their eyes for even a moment.
The two waited for this.
For two hours.
And the fluctuations of the nearby Fortune Immortal Pillar also lasted for two hours.
Finally, the subordinates who were sent out rushed back.
"Reporting to the King, there have been no changes in anything related to fortune."
"The entire Cloud Top territory has also been searched, and no hidden dangers were found."
"Oh?"
The Cloud Top King hurriedly stood up and asked solemnly, "Are you certain?"
"Reporting to the King, it is absolutely certain."
The subordinate respectfully replied.
"You may leave!"
The Cloud Top King waved his hand, finally breathing a sigh of relief. He turned to the Destroyer of the World and said, "Since there are no hidden dangers, we don't need to worry too much. On the contrary, it's very likely a good thing."
"Oh?"
The Destroyer of the World's gaze shifted, filled with anticipation.
"This fortune doesn't just change due to human actions."
"For example, if a hidden great secret realm appears within my Cloud Top territory, or the tomb of a high-level immortal is unearthed, or a heaven-blessed genius is born, these could all cause fluctuations in fortune," the Cloud Top King explained. "Just now, I ordered all agencies to search the entire nation. Since no hidden dangers were found, then the fluctuations in the Fortune Immortal Pillar must be caused by the reasons I just mentioned."
Upon hearing this.
The Destroyer of the World's eyes also instantly lit up.
If this were true.
Then it would be a blessing in disguise.
And judging from the signs of the Fortune Immortal Pillar, the upcoming changes would likely be no small matter.
Their grand plan to perfect the Fortune Immortal Pillar was almost within reach.
The two revealed joyful expressions, filled with anticipation as they awaited the official changes to the Fortune Immortal Pillar.
Finally.
After another hour passed, the fluctuations finally ceased.
"It's coming."
The Cloud Top King exclaimed.
The Destroyer of the World nodded solemnly.
At this moment, the two also clenched their fists tightly.
They had even envisioned in their minds the Supreme One's greatest rewards descending upon them once the Fortune Immortal Pillar was perfected.
But suddenly.
The Fortune Immortal Pillar abruptly decreased by half its original level.
This sudden change caused the Cloud Top King to clutch his chest in pain as he directly collapsed to the ground.
The Destroyer of the World was also stunned motionless like a pillar.
Utterly dumbfounded.
And at the same time, the recently buried imperial tomb of the Wu Tian Empire exploded.
Then a figure with hair standing on end burst forth, shooting into the sky.
"I, Wu Tian!"
"Have returned!"
